U.S. Soccer PDI-aligned. Same principles, same roles — scaled from 7v7 through 11v11 as players develop.
U.S. Soccer mandates three developmental formats. Every age group learns the same core system — the formation scales as the pitch and player count grow.
The core principle that transfers across every format. Everything else follows from it — U.S. Soccer PDI.
Spread wide. Stretch the opponent. Create space behind. Support the ball ahead, side, and behind.
Compress centrally. Protect the middle. The forward is the first defender — trigger the press.
See each zone's scenario diagrams below for how this plays out in goal kicks, attacking shape, defending shape, corners, and free kicks.
6 outfield + goalkeeper. The foundation system — every scenario applies the same in-possession / out-of-possession principles.
8 outfield + goalkeeper. Wider pitch, more players — the same 4 scenarios scale with the formation.
10 outfield + goalkeeper. Full pitch, full system — everything learned in 7v7 and 9v9 now plays at full scale.
